Wine and food pairing: strawberry tart

A symbol of the strawberry season, strawberry tarts are appreciated for their simplicity and freshness. The shortbread or shortcrust pastry, generously filled with fresh strawberries and topped with vanilla custard, is a treat for taste buds and pupils alike. Its simplicity highlights the freshness and natural sweetness of strawberries, for a dessert that's both light and indulgent.

To accompany strawberry tart and bring out its delicate flavors, it's essential to choose a wine that complements and balances the dessert. Here are a few food and wine pairing suggestions.

Vin Doux Naturel: A natural sweet wine such as a Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise or a Rivesaltes Ambré offers the perfect combination of sweetness and freshness to accompany strawberry tart. Its aromas of ripe fruit and white flowers highlight the freshness of the strawberries and the richness of the custard.

A Bugey-Cerdon demi-sec brings a touch of elegance and festivity to strawberry tart tasting. Its fine bubbles and freshness cleanse the palate between each bite, enhancing the dessert's lightness and freshness.

A mellow rosé wine like a Cabernet d'Anjou du domaine Ogereau offers beautiful aromatic complexity and delicate sweetness that pair perfectly with strawberry tart. Its red fruit aromas harmoniously complement the dessert's flavors.
